In the section "Creating Highly Excited States" the function atom.getRabiFrequency is used twice. The first time it uses the gaussian beam waist (radius). The second time it uses the gaussian beam diameter (2*waist). According to the docs, it should be the waist and the second call should be adjusted accordingly.

Thank you for spotting this @dihm . Do you agree that if in example in text before In[16] I change

"... laser focused down to 50 μm driving ..."

to

"... laser focused down to 1/e^2 waist of 50 μm driving ..."

that would resolve this issue? Or it was text somewhere else? Because in code I see that we call variable waist both in In[12] and In[16].

I honestly think the language is consistent enough, but in In[16] the waist is called as
rabiFreq = atom.getRabiFrequency(8,1,1.5,0.5,52,2,1.5,0.5,P, 2*waist )
giving twice the waist.
